Given that a SHAR does not need a full runway, one has to ponder if this was major failure on t/o or a roll which resulted in a rapid return to the runway, but resulted in an overshoot of unfortunate proportions.

Just might be that it was AFC material - pilot and aircraft both returning to service in due course. the BBC story is fair enough but they are hardly likely to have the facts!

Best wishes for the recovery to full height of the jock. Trust his discs expand in due course and the whiplash is minimal.
